An article entitled "Is your company capable of surviving a commodities bust?" and written by CET PhD student John Sykes features in the latest issue of Resource Global Network magazine.

CET PhD student John Sykes and CET Professor Allan Trench have won the AusIMM Best Paper Award for 2017 for their paper: "Using scenarios to investigate the long-term future of copper mining and guide exploration targeting strategies" which was presented at the International Mine Management Conference in Brisbane in September 2016.

The World Bank Group (WBG) and the Centre for Exploration Targeting (CET) have recently published a comprehensive technical guidebook targeted to mining tax professionals entitled “Transfer Pricing in Mining with Focus on Africa: A Reference Guide for Practitioners”. This publication and a related less technical Briefing Note, targeted at uninitiated stakeholders (e.g. politicians, industry executives, media, NGOs etc.), are the outputs of an extensive program of research in mining taxation designed to strengthen related policy formulation and administrative and collection frameworks in developing countries, particularly in Africa.

CET Adjunct Senior Research Fellow Geoff Batt has been awarded the prestigious BHP Billiton Scholarship for 2017 to undertake the Full-time Intensive MBA program in the UWA Business School.
